Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.
Just now South Central Kansas is all ex-
element about inland sea bathing in the
Salt Lake near Geuda Springs, Kansas. It
is said to be the only inland salt lake in the
United States except the one IN Utah, and is
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one OF
the strange natural CuriOsities of this CONT
nent, being seven IN number and each diff
fsrent in mineral constituents, and are all
situated within a space of thirty feet square.
A complete analysis Of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure OF several cases supposed here
tOfOre to be incurable, and notably one Of
them being Addison's disease, for which, II
is said by medical works there is no cure,
has caused the corporation who have recent
" purchased the springs to employ Prof. E.
n. S. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry, Me
tallurgy and MineralOgy, in the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem
lists IN this country, to make a critical guam

1t was the third Of July, 1865, IN a little
hamlet amid the wild mountains OF East
Tennessee. The war was virtually over,
but the bitter hates and prosecutions en-

sun was not half an hour high when the
little street was filed with men; some in
home-spun, some In Confederate gray.
Some in Union blue, but all armed with
rifles or muskets, and carrying knives.
They ranged themselves in two parties o.
about equal strength. After much mutter-

anti-Fourth-of-July people stepped Tor
